Summary: The vision of the National Coordinated Initiative ‘Computational e-Science’ is to advance innovative, interdisciplinary research where complex multi-scale, multi-domain problems in science and engineering are solved on distributed systems, integrating sophisticated numerical methods, computation, data, networks, and novel devices. We aim to become one of the world-leaders in the field of computational e-science. We will build on the impressive results obtained from previous NWO programs and the (new) Dutch infrastructural programs that focused on understanding through modeling and simulation of interdisciplinary, multi-domain, multi-scale processes in science and engineering.
